The previously discussed option to remove global login (single-sign-on) is not a valid. If I have accounts on multiple wikis, most people likely do want to remain signed in in all. Especially to shared repositories. > Nonetheless, that would still reveal a number of users IPs.

I can think of two modes: (a) The WMF privacy statement explain that commons is always included, and the software keeps the present behavior for commons (b) In the case of commons autocreation is offered but needs confirmation. I prefer (a). In the case of other wikis I don't care much whether the option (b) or (c): require a manual login the first time to create account is chosen. Please note that part of this bug is legal: The privacy statement of WMF contradicts the behavior of the software, the software is violating the privacy rules explained to users and therefore a threat of some troll taking legal action against WMF exists. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
